Some clear thinking about our nation's problems and the election

Cowboy Poetry Festival

We have reached the point of extreme absurdity with the refusal of the Democrats in Congress and the Democrat in the White House to address cutting our national spending in a meaningful way. This country is drowning in debt. This debt is retarding the improvement in unemployment rate and inhibiting the growth of GDP. Yet, the President offers a total of $6.5 Billion in cuts – one day’s spending deficit – from a multi-trillion dollar problem and the Democrats in Congress believe that the $6.5 Billion is too much of a cut and attempt to reduce it to $4.7 Billion. The biggest ship in the world, the U.S., is sinking and the Democratic Party’s Progressive Socialists are bailing with a tea cup.

I am sure that the Cowboy Poetry Festival held in Genoa, Nevada is a very nice event. But this festival now serves as a giant symptom of just how rabidly incompetent the Democratic Party leadership in this country is. The majority leader in the Senate, Harry Reid, is distraught that the Republicans want to cut federal funding from the Festival. Are these Democrats delusional?

Harry Reid on the Senate floor actually called the Republicans “mean-spirited” for wanting to de-fund this festival as part of overall proposed cuts, insufficient as the proposed cuts may be. These Democrats are in a national security dangerous and overwhelming denial as they simply refuse to cut anything and apparently believing that we can continue down this “spend, spend, more than you take in road – forever”. As pundits have been saying a whole lot lately: “You can’t make this stuff up.”
